Hello,
I have studied your case.
If on bending forward curve of scoliosis disappears then its functional if it persist on bending forward then its structural.You need to confirm which type you have.
You may need MRI spine to get detail diagnosis.
For symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
